The Eldor statesman wins!
Here are results to see how folks ranked the top characters from previous polls. The main page poll setup by Adam Tyner ran for a week and 729 votes were cast, giving us a fair confidence rating on the results. And thanks to Penny Dreadful for organizing the whole thing and to the fans on the forums for helping narrow down the initial list!
1. Eldor
2. Lizard Man
3. Evilseed (Mike Young Productions)
4. Madame Razz (with Broom)
5. Skeletor (New Adventures Toy)
6. Robot Knights
7. Calix
8. Hordak (Filmation)
9. Imp
10. Granita
11. Hawke
12. Karg (1987 Movie)
13. Horde Mummy
14. Horde Wraith
15. Sorceress (Mike Young Productions)
16. Veena
17. Despara (current DC comics)
18. Terror Claws Skeletor
19. Skeletor (1987 Movie)
20. Lodar (vintage MOTU mini-comics)
21. Tuvar
22. Baddrah
23. Masks of Power Demons (vintage MOTU mini-comics)
24. Oo-lar AKA Alacala He-Man (vintage MOTU mini-comics)
25. Evilseed (Filmation)
26. Crita (standard version)
27. Darius
28. Mammoth Man
29. Mara (dress version)
30. Master Sebrian
Many Filmation characters ranked closer to the top while many New Adventures characters from the Jetlag cartoon ranked near the bottom. But the margin of popularity between each character was even and relatively small throughout the entire poll which suggests a solid list of potential MOTUC characters despite ranking.
What are your thoughts on the results?
And here's hoping MOTUC goes to 2016 and beyond so we can get some of these characters!
The Eldor statesman wins!
Woo hoo! Madame Razz and Granita in the top ten!
Not to mention Filmation Hordak and Imp as well!
Lizard Man at second place: yeeesss
Masks of Power Demons & Oo-lar only 23./24.: booo
Darius & Master Sebrian deserve a better position as well.
"A female He-Man. Ooh oh. This is the worst day of my life."
I'm surprised Granitia is number 10. Is that because people want her with their rock-men? as a stand alone figure without this past SDCC exclusive would she still be a contender?
my feedback thread:
Glad to see Eldor at the top of the pile! He was my number one choice!
Must-Haves in 2015: Lord Masque, Quakke, Sagitar, Negator, Peekablue, Granita, Dragstor, Crita, Prahvus, Classic Toy Costume Catra Vs. Starburst She-Ra
Master Sebrian being at the very bottom makes me quite sad
Not surprised that Eldor took it, he was my #1 choice in that poll too! I am surprised at how high MYP Evil Seed ranked though, would have figured he would have been middle of the pack.
Lodar and Darius are way too low for my liking though.
Proud supporter of the Snake Men.
Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Crita, Lizorr, Tyrantisaurus Rex, Great Black Wizard, Darius, the rest of New Adventures.
Most Wanted Filmation: Lord Masque, Ileena, Granita, General Sunder, Teela, He-Man, Skeletor, Hordak head.
No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!
Amusing that the Battle Royale is book-ended by two very very old men.
Must-Haves in 2015: Lord Masque, Quakke, Sagitar, Negator, Peekablue, Granita, Dragstor, Crita, Prahvus, Classic Toy Costume Catra Vs. Starburst She-Ra
The Top Ten is perfect.
"A Person Who Is Willing To Die For Someone Else, Has Nothing To Live For Themselves!"

So glad to see 200X Evilseed demolish Filmation Evilseed
The Lurkiest
**Somebody please make me a Staghorn**
Wow, intriguing results! I actually am in agreement with most of that list, but Darius, Mara and Crita would place higher. Tuvar and Baddhra are at the very bottom of my list along with Oo-Lar.
Coming Soon. My line of 5.5'' action figures. EonQuest.com
Mostly happy with the results, not too far from how I positioned them myself. Definitely want at least the top 12 in figure form!
Interesting results - I'm surprised NA Skeletor placed as high as he did.
"That's very interesting...but silly."
I know the margins between characters is small, but still, Calix above Imp and Filmation Hordak... and just that high on the list in general? I wouldn't necessarily mind a figure of him, but he's this character that was in an MYP episode for like 5 seconds and was only there as an excuse for Hordak to have a henchman to kill and not have it be a character that anyone was attached to.
Leela: "What's the secret of time travel doing on Fry's ass?"
Fry: "It was bound to be somewhere!"
Eldor #1?
Does an old guy with a hood really intrigue people that much to have him in ACTION figure form? Even Dekker was more exciting.

Let's get HUNGA THE HARPY before 2016!
If they are going to do another mini-sub, I would love for them to pull the characters from this list. So many great characters on there and very few of them have a chance of being made in the next two years.
I think the mystique of him being one of those characters fans have known about for a while really adds to his appeal for some. He's one of the ones that "got away" from the vintage line. I actually wonder if he might not be the figure that TG hinted at as making people go hmmmmm. Since, technically he's a proto and shouldn't be in the 2014/2015 in the strictest sense. He is one of the most requested characters.
Coming Soon. My line of 5.5'' action figures. EonQuest.com
Very Happy with the top 10 even the top 15. I hope those are the characters we get in 2014 and 2015!!!
Evilseed MYP being in the TOP 3 made me one happy person!!!!
Must say I am completely happy with this list. I am bummed Lodar finished so low, he is in my top 2 figure requests, but I feel he is guaranteed. He is the top mini-comic character left.
As for Veena and MYP Sorceress, I feel they are one and the same. We already have the Sorceress in Classics. And for me, Veena's design was very similar to the MYP Sorceress. I would like to have the Egyptian theme thrown onto Veena. Done and done.
As for Evil Seed, he has appeared in the mini-comics as the MYP version, so that is obviously the one we will get, but I do hope they include a Filmation head.
And looking at the top 10, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that we get another Filmation mini-sub.
Now, if only Songster, Camo Kahn and Evil Robot had made this list!!!
1. Eldor
2. Lizard Man
3. Evilseed (Mike Young Productions)
4. Madame Razz (with Broom)
5. Skeletor (New Adventures Toy)
6. Robot Knights
7. Calix
8. Hordak (Filmation)
9. Imp
10. Granita
This is awesome! Clap clap clapclapclap! Perfect Top 10 right there. Soooo happy that the Robot Knights placed so highly. We've had Palace Guards, Snake Men, and Horde Troopers. Now it's time for the Robot Knights to shine! Skeletor and the Evil Warriors need their army builders!
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress Evilseed (MYP)
Go Madame Razz!!! Very respectable place. Everyone who voted: You make me proud.
My MOTUC top wants (POST NYCC 2014):
Filmation:Twiggets - Red Knight - Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Dylamug - Vultak - Enchantress - Kothos - General Tataran - Evil Seed (Filmation artichoke) - Masque - Sybiline (with a pack-in Gorgon) - Melaktha
Others: Despara - toy version of Catra - Veena - Master Sebrian - Drissi - Caz - Andros - Sorceress (NA comics version)- Kex Queen - Lodar

Bibliography (No more than one page): Select the most relevant literature or other references and be sure to include any that you have contributed to. Budget and Budget Justification: The proposal file should include a budget [OU3] for the proposed project, including a breakdown of proposed expenditures (summer salary, student stipend/tuition, supplies, equipment, travel, etc.). The Budget Justification must explain the reason for each line item in the budget, and how you determined or calculated the cost. Please note that the proposed budget and budget justifications will be reviewed by the entire URC for final approval. Any changes in the approved budget will require a resubmission of the entire application for review by the URC again. Please be reminded that the URC will not be responsible for any delay caused by the resubmission of the application (e.g., to the summer of the following year). Vitae: Faculty applicants must include a current curriculum vitae of no more than two pages.

When I was walking home one night while the sun was setting, I was standing near Carmichael Hall on a part of the hill where you can see pretty far off into the distance.
The last glimpse of daylight
Glows pink around the buildings—
The sky fades to dark.
In reading The Narrow Road to the Deep North, I saw conflicting ideas between what we have learned (that there is no such thing as self) and Basho's self-conscious journey to answer questions such as who am I? "For Basho, an ever-changing reality lended itself to the obliteration of difference that, in turn, created a poetic consciousness, or a creative self in this limited sense," (Inouye 79). I feel like it makes some sense to define self because if there were no designation of what self is, then how would we know there is no such thing as self? Basho's journey was in search of enlightenment that he came to experience through his travels; "Roadside images seemed to invite me from every corner, so it was impossible for me to stay idle at home," (Basho 97). Basho was travelling to seek enlightenment, but there were also concubines travelling, who Basho compares to bush clovers and he is the moon. Although they are so far apart, they exist in the same reality. Basho tells them, "Go as travelers go." (Basho 132). In a way, we're all travelers—everything and everyone and there is nothing permanent in this world. "A thicket of grass is all that remains of the dreams and ambitions of ancient warriors." (Basho 118). This is the beauty of nature. The cycle of life and death is ongoing, but nature remains the same. "I am awestruck to hear a cricket singing underneath the dark cavity of an old helmet." (Basho 134). Although the warrior died and decayed, there is new life under the helmet. With all these experiences Basho had on his journey, I can understand why it is difficult to pass this enlightenment on to others. But I wonder then, how can those who find enlightenment come back to reality and help others who are in the burning house if it is so difficult to pass on the truths? I guess everyone has to find these truths themselves and can only find enlightenment through means of experience.

The Painting specialism offers you the opportunity to develop individual research and builds upon a strong tradition and history of painting at our UCA Canterbury campus. In the wake of new media such as installation, video, performance and digital art, the traditional medium of painting has enjoyed a renaissance among recent artists, who have explored new means to broaden the traditional field of painting.
Contextualising practice in direct relationship with the practical and conceptual concerns that exist within contemporary fine art, you draw on the richness, eclecticism, dynamism and contemporaneity of the practice of painting today. You develop projects that demonstrate a keen understanding of current debates within the field of painting and in the broader interdisciplinary context of fine art production.
With a well-established and strong history, the Master in Fine Art course is open to artists, designers, illustrators, architects and theorists (including graduates in the humanities) and is designed to foster new and innovative approaches to fine art study at an advanced level. Building upon the practical and conceptual concerns of contemporary art practice, you develop an advanced ability to conceptualise and research in relation to your own practice.
How this course is taught
This course is supported by seminars, tutorials, workshops, work in progress sessions, study visits and critiques. The progressive move from staff-directed to autonomous learning is an integral part of the structure of this course, as you identify, develop and manage your own MA project.
How this course is assessed
A range of assessment methods are used, including reviews of coursework, presentations and written submissions. Peer and self-assessment are also used at appropriate points to enable more self-critical perspectives in thinking about your work and practice.
Key study topics include:
* The first phase of the course emphasises experimentation, reflection and an open questioning of your practice and research aims.
* Through practical studies and theoretical reflection you work to develop a project proposal, considering issues in studio methodology and the relationships between theory and practice.
* In the second phase of the course you develop and investigate your proposed research project, testing ideas and establishing coherent modes for critically engaging with your studio practice.
* Throughout this phase you are supported through interdisciplinary workshops, tutorials, forums and study visits to London and Europe.
* In the final phase you realise your project through focused independent study, establishing an appropriate form for the dissemination and/or publication of your work.
Syllabus (11/12*)
You have the opportunity to develop individual research in the specialist field of painting, within fine art practice. You are required to produce a body of work which shows an understanding of current debates in the field of painting and in the broader interdisciplinary context of fine art production.

* Issues in Contemporary Practice- through a series of lectures and seminars the unit provides an overview of a range of current debates that provide a cultural and intellectual context for the consideration of ideas in fine art and encourages your active engagement with them.
* Creative Practice - development of a project proposal that outlines your intended research aims and objectives for your MA.At this stage experimentation will be emphasised over resolved outcomes. Throughout this unit you will be expected to keep a reflective sketchbook in order to maintain a rigorous and critical outlook on your own and others' work.
Stage 2
* Project Development - begin developing your project, evaluating and testing out the aims of your proposal over a sustained period of self-directed study.
Stage 3
* Project Realisation- you will apply knowledge and experience gained in previous units to the realisation of your final MA project.
* Project Publication & Dissemination - communication of research outcomes to a wider audience, making a contribution to the profession, an academic discipline or to a wider general public.

National Zoo's Panda Cam Is Back
By editor
Originally published on Fri October 18, 2013 12:23 pm
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
The government shutdown is over and that means the National Zoo's panda cam is back. After 16 days, it's a reminder they grow up so fast. When we last saw the zoo's panda cub, she was pink and mostly hairless, weighing just three pounds. So when the feed flickered to life yesterday, panda fans were delighted to see the cub has sprouted fur and grown to five pounds. She's also opened her eyes and ears. Maybe Congress should take a cue.

This month's subject: Comet PANSTARRS
Post your entries here.
The rules:
1. All entries must be captured within the same season as the contest. For example, if the subject was Orion Nebula, than any photo captured during this particular winter (or period that it was visible) would qualify for the contest. Entries must be made prior midnight of the last day of the month.
2. Images to be considered for entry to the Challenge must be posted to and visible in the challenge submissions thread. A link to an off-site image without a version that is actually displayed in the Challenge submissions thread will not suffice and is subject to disqualification.
3. Images to be considered for entry to the Challenge must conform in all respects with the site wide image posting requirements. Entrants may elect to set this "entry image" up as a "clickable link" to a higher resolution image if they so desire, and entrants may also elect to instead provide a separate link to such an image if they so choose. If the entrant provides a legally sized and working "clickable link" as their "entry image", that "clickable link" will be included in the polling thread so that voters can examine the high resolution image before voting. However, any "entry images" displayed on the CN site that do not meet the file size and pixel dimension requirements will subject the entry to disqualification. Any questions on this rule? Just ask.
4. Please include the equipment used to take the image. Scope/Mount/Camera/Focal reducers/Barlows...whatever. Also include your location.
5. Please do not post comments in the entries thread. It is just for these wonderful images you all will be submitting.
6. The equipment must be yours. Doesn't matter what it is. 20" RC, ETX70, 2" Tasco or an 8" TMB.
7. No collaborations. You must be the operator. You must setup, align, take the exposures and process them yourself. You can have help mounting that 26" RC if need be. No remote scope images. Unless you own that remote scope and have set it up aligned it and hooked your camera up. Then you can use it. No pay by the hour renta-scope images will be allowed.
*If you have a physical disability which prevents you from being able to set up your equipment, you may still post images in the contests. However, you must own the equipment.
8. Most importantly! Have fun. Support one another's efforts. As we all can learn from this and enjoy each others accomplishments.

Surprised there aren't more submissions. So here is my humble quick shot, taken the night of 3/16/13, atop a ridge in Gig Harbor, WA, looking west over Henderson Bay. Shot with Nikon D5000, 5 sec at f5, iso1600, zoomed to 200mm. Camera held on dash of car looking through windshield! I was amazed I got anything. Shot a little over an hour after sunset.

How do you clean windows you can't reach that need muscle power to scrub them -- such as:
- the kitchen garden window inside - the front seat car window that slants way out ??? I can't reach either one with my hand, try as I may. While we're at it, what's the best way to clean outside windows, especially second story ones? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Uh....hire it done. LOL! I had a cleaning lady that would use a swiffer mop with the swiffer pad replaced with a microfiber cloth to clean some of my tall windows. |
I have a garden window too. I bought one of these and LOVE it!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Windshield Wonder
Linda, I like to be able to do for myself, and cleaning a window isn't at all hard IF I have the right tool, thanks. Arizonny, thank you! I will drop by Walgreens and see if they have one. Looks perfect. :) Does the head swivel? I ask because the kitchen garden window is at a very different angle than the car window. |
If they no longer have them @ Walgreens you should be able to order one from any on the "As Seen on TV" sites. I always laugh at all that crap but this tool, is VERY useful. By "swivel", if you mean side to side, no. The handle does pivot on the head though. As corny as these adds are, it really does make these jobs easy. |

IMHO the very best way to clean windows is to use a fillable windshield washer thingy covered with a scrubbee and filled with windshield washer fluid. For taller windows just use a washer with a long handle. After scrubbing (which is very easy since using windshield washer fluid), just use a squeegee. Doesn't take long at all to finish a bank of windows. I use this method inside and out. |
oceanna, I wanted to stop in and tell you that I saw them @ Target today too. The have a small "As Seen on TV" section in the kitchen gadget section. |
oceanna, I moved into a second floor condo in a 100 year old house two years ago. My biggest regret is that I can't possibly clean the outside of the window sashes myself anymore! Even though both the upper and lower sashes can be moved up and down, there are areas of the outside sash that I just can't possibly reach to clean (or I risk falling out of the window). And I just don't want to get up on a ladder; too risky! I love clean, sparkly windows, but I have to resign myself now to a once-per-year-cleaning by a hired person. This is hard! |

I use a microfiber mop, even on windows I can reach. I tried it for the first time while mopping floors because my patio doors had dog nose prints all over and hadn't been wiped down in a couple of months due to laziness. Even with a fairly dirty mophead (I had mopped the whole room and not yet rinsed the mophead), I got really good results and very quickly. That led me to clean all the windows this way in no time. Results were not flawless, but a huge improvement over windows I otherwise probably would not clean frequently. Now I do it regularly this way, and they look better and better with each cleaning. I love microfiber! |

Late reply but might be useful to others if not Oceanna. I have something similar to the Windshield Wonder from Lee Valley. The pad is triangular to better access corners. Currently in my yearly "let's-get-this-house-organized-once-and-for-all" frenzy and trying to find a permanent home for this gizmo. The "bonnets" seem to have been separated from the cleaner. I see that the Windshield Wonder can be stored in the glove box. I'll try that with mine. |

For fast n clear results, try washing windows with a squeegee . |

Contrast has such a strong, and versatile meaning. The time that contrasts me with my doings, the contrast between day and night, the contrast of differences, the contrast of silence and words. I think that inner living has a silent contrast between the wants and cans, between heart and mind, between self and the other. Contrast is a normality in our life but in some situations can be a motive to change, and an understanding of differences.
One of the first thinkings I had when I read the calling of the 8th Gallery Challenge, made by Designanator, was the contrast between day and night, fos (which is the greek word for light) and darkness (skotadi, is the greek word). But this contrast thinking of black and white, brought in mind so many everyday contrasts all in opposite beings like in the yin- yang chain. The contrast of laughing and crying, of being alone and being loved, of being without being, and by this thinking I understood that contrast is an element of our living. Even we, our self is a contrast to our past.
My contribution to the challenge is the contrast between light (fos), a symbolism using night and day to signify the light and darkness we all carry inside, like small, individual yin and yangs. The photographs belong to the Fos Collection, and the first one (Fos), is an image of dancing children and humans in a celebration night. The actual photograph was shot in night using a moving camera, and it is a signature image to me for the movism technique. But the most essential is that the joy, the positive energy, and the need of creation, celebration can even turn night into day. Children are also thought to be the light of the world, meaning our wish for a better world.
The second image (Microcosm), is a photograph of a woman dancing, and it is also shot in night. Microcosm, means that we all carry inside a small world, and I find this visual depiction so touching and sensitive, at least it is to me, as a woman. There is a difference when a woman has to face and make a world inside the world when she is alone. There is such a contrast between men and women, although human. And this image symbolizes the inner solitude of each woman, combined with her need to create, feel, give beauty, art and joy. A woman dancing in the city, in the night, feeling in love inside her heart, living in her microcosm, so inside and outside of the world at the same time. I think that we all are microcosms. (The photographs,created with the move technique, have only the colour and the focus alteration).
Thank you Designanator, for this challenging challenge, which made me think, and understand that maybe contrasts are (or can be) a maturity road, when sensed with the mind of heart.
Best wishes to all!!!!

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Attorney General Leslie Rutledge asked Arkansas' highest court on Friday to hold new oral arguments in the lawsuit over the state's gay marriage ban because two new justices weren't at a hearing on the case last year.
Rutledge, a Republican who was sworn in last week, noted that two new justices have joined the state Supreme Court since it heard oral arguments in November. Justices have yet to rule in the state's appeal of a Pulaski County judge's decision striking down the ban as unconstitutional.
Rutledge also said in her motion to the court that Chief Justice Jim Hannah was unable to attend the hearing due to a national meeting of chief justices.
"I believe the court would benefit greatly from a second oral argument," Rutledge said in a statement issued by her office. "The people of Arkansas should know that as Attorney General, I will vigorously defend any challenge against Arkansas's Constitution."
Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza in May struck down a voter-approved 2004 constitutional amendment and earlier state law defining marriage as between a man and a woman. More than 500 gay couples were issued marriage licenses following his decision before justices suspended the ruling.
The state is also appealing a federal judge's ruling striking down the ban. That decision is also on hold pending the appeal.
The U.S. Supreme Court last week announced it would hear arguments on whether same-sex couples have the right to marry in every state. The cases will be argued in April, and a decision is expected by late June.
An attorney for the couples challenging Arkansas' ban said she planned to oppose Rutledge's motion. She said a new hearing wasn't necessary because both sides have made their case in filings before the court.
"I don't mind doing another oral argument, but my problem is my clients are being damaged every single day that this delay goes on and on and on," Cheryl Maples said.
Judges across the country have ruled against bans similar to Arkansas' since the U.S. Supreme Court struck part of a federal anti-gay marriage law in June 2013. Gay marriage is legal in more than half of the U.S.
Rutledge, who was elected in November, opposes gay marriage and has vowed to defend Arkansas' ban. Her Democratic predecessor, former Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, last year announced he supported same-sex marriage but would defend the ban in court.

[edit] KDE 4.3
[edit] Summary
Rebase to KDE 4.3 and offers new features such Phonon Gstreamer back end as the default
[edit] Owner
- Email: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
- IRC: #fedora-kde
[edit] Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 22
- Last updated: 2009-08-18
- Percentage of completion: 100%
[edit] Detailed Description
We are going to rebase KDE to 4.3 version.
New features overview
- Plasma:
- new default theme, Air
- improved job and notification management
- fully configurable keyboard shortcuts
- new and improved Plasma widgets
- faster Systemsettings with an optional treeview
- new effects like "Sheet" and "Slide Back" and better performance in KWin
- Applications:
- Solid integration in KGpg
- Ark supports LZMA/XZ
- improved contact list in Kopete
- new Bug Report Tool
- KDELirc, a frontend for the Linux Infrared Remote Control system (LIRC)
- Plasma:
- Continue work on Fedora branding effort
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
KDE is popular, feature rich and stable desktop environment used by lot of Fedora users.
[edit] Scope
Requires rebasing to the latest upstream version and preparing distribution specific patches.
[edit] How To Test
- yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
- set KDE as default environment + KDM
- login to KDE desktop
or use Fedora KDE Desktop spin
What should be checked (KDE):
- distribution integration - phonon-backend-gstreamer
- custom branding changes (KDM theme, KSplash theme, artwork) - for Preview Release
We are working on test plan for KDE QA.
[edit] User Experience
Modern, feature rich and stable desktop environment.
[edit] Dependencies
Depends on upstream KDE 4.3 release, see [1].
Custom Fedora branding depends on Fedora Artwork team!
[edit] Contingency Plan
Given how the KDE 4.3 and Fedora 12 schedules align, there should be plenty of buffer time between the KDE 4.3 and Fedora 12 releases. We are already working on importing and polishing beta version of KDE. In case of problems with upstream release we can revert to older release or we can omit individual problematic modules of this feature. KDE 4.3 could be later shipped as an update.
[edit] Documentation
The Fedora KDE Destop User Guide is very important part of this feature for users. It guides users how-to use the new KDE 4 Desktop and it's targeted to both former KDE 3.5 user and first time KDE 4 users.
Fedora KDE Desktop User Guide (draft)
Upstream documentation sites:
[edit] Release Notes
This release features KDE 4.3.
KDE 4.3 is the latest release of KDE 4. There are a lot of enhancements and new features. Plasma has a new Air look, improved job and notification management and fully configurable keyboard shortcuts. There are also new Plasma widgets and existing ones are improved. KWin is optimized for performance and brings new desktop effects to KDE. KDE now contains a new bug reporting tool, making it easier to report bugs to the KDE developers. The GStreamer Phonon backend is now the default one.

Jennifer Rieker is testing the love and devotion of sneakerheads with her new Creo Shoe Concept. The Creo Shoe Concept is a conceptual DIY shoe kit. People who buy the Creo Shoe would be sent a package containing detailed instructions and all the materials needed to self-assemble their own shoe.
The Creo Shoe Concept is great because it could potentially eliminate third world shoe factories, which should drive down the costs of shoes. I'm all for cheaper shoes, even if it does mean learning to sew.

Tomorrow is the "take back the memorial rally" at the world trade center plaza in NYC. This rally is an effort by many 9/11 family members who feel the proposed "international freedom center" doesn't represent what "ground zero" is all about. I think we should support this effort.
The proposed International Freedom Center will include three major components:
Museum exhibition spaces: will tell personal stories and explore crucial themes in the history of freedom, detailing the contributions of countless individual women and men around the world who have made a difference to its cause.
An educational and cultural center: will sponsor an extensive array of lectures, symposia, discussions, films, and other events in its theaters and public halls that will nurture a global conversation on freedom in our world today.
A service and civic engagement network: will offer visitors opportunities to act in freedom's service in their own communities and around the world.
The families involved in the rally as well as a group calling itself 911 Families For America feel that the Freedom Center is politically slanted, and are petitioning for a simpler monument to be build honoring the dead lost on 9/11
"William Ryan, Woodside, NY, Jul 27, 2005 4:22 pm
I lost my brother, Edward Ryan, on 9/11. I am outraged by the planned construction of a freedom center and a drawing/ arts center on this hallowed ground. Ground Zero should be exclusively a memorial for those who died. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for taking up this noble cause.Please add my name to the list of family members who have signed on in support of your actions."
"We strongly believe that a cultural museum at Ground Zero with exhibits about historical events such as slavery, the Holocaust and the Soviet system of gulags dilutes the memory of those who perished on September 11th and the events of that day. We and 22,000 members of "New York's Bravest"—the United Firefighters Association of New York—believe that the place where 3,000 people were murdered in the most destructive attack in our nation's history should be reserved for that story, and that story alone."
I don't see any reason why the 9/11 monument needs to be about anything other than 9/11, and certainly don't like the political slant that the IFC has in store for the monument. There is nothing of this sort at our Pearl Harbor Monument - http://www.nps.gov/usar/. Why does WTC need to be different. Isn't honoring our dead enough?
We should honor the people who died on 9/11, support the heros that saved thousands that day and support the families still suffering from their loss. That's what this monument should be about. Nothing more, nothing less.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I want to override following section of customer config.xml:
<global> <customer> <address> <formats> <text translate="title" module="customer"> <title>Text</title> <defaultFormat><![CDATA[{{depend prefix}}{{var prefix}} {{/depend}}{{var firstname}} {{depend middlename}}{{var middlename}} {{/depend}}{{var lastname}}{{depend suffix}} {{var suffix}}{{/depend}}{{depend company}}{{var company}}{{/depend}}{{var street1}}{{depend street2}}{{var street2}}{{/depend}}{{depend street3}}{{var street3}}{{/depend}}{{depend street4}}{{var street4}}{{/depend}}{{depend city}}{{var city}}, {{/depend}}{{depend region}}{{var region}}, {{/depend}}{{var postcode}}{{var country}}T: {{var telephone}}{{depend fax}}F: {{var fax}}{{/depend}} ]]></defaultFormat> </text></formats></address></customer></global>
You use the exact same element layout. Just put what you posted in your question into the config.xml for your module.
Thanks for your reply. I tried to do so, but it doesn't work. It still uses configuration from core/customer config.xml. I cleared cach before test run.
Are your sure your custom Module is being loaded then? The way that the Magento config system works, if you specify the exact same element tree in your config.xml, it should over write the one that is loaded earlier.
Yes. i'm sure it loads, because classes i overrided in my custom module work.
Could you post you config.xml then? Maybe I can spot something.
Here are files in attachment. config.xml is file from Mage/Customer/etc config_my.xml is file from my module, it contains some <fieldsets> tag alterations which don't work too.
Thank you for your help.
Hey, looking at the config files, it all looks good. The only thing I can come up with (after consulting with Vinai) is maybe the load order is messed up. Do you have you module depending on the Mage_Customer module? That is the only sure way to get your code loaded AFTER the Mage_Customer module.
Thanks you for your help. It was the case. I added depedencies and all started to work

John Harrigan: 'We've passed the low point, and spring is not far behind'
"Wind chill" was formerly reserved for Antarctic explorers and weather geeks. Now it has crept into common use. These days, when I see a news story about it being 40 below in Billings, Mont., I want to rush for the phone and ask, "Are they talking about the raw temperature or counting the wind?" Raw temperature, by the way, is when you dash from camp to the outhouse and come back raw, having left part of your epidermis on the seat.
And I, having just pushed another 4 or 5 inches of snow away from the furnace, heaved another few pieces of 50-year-old stored solar power into the furnace's gaping maw and crunched my way back to the barn, wish readers near and far the best for the New Year and beyond.

You're one step closer to paradise...
A half-mile long and adjacent to the highway heading north out of Kapaa, Kealia Beach attracts bodyboarders and surfers year-round (possibly because the local high school is just up the hill). Kealia is not generally a great beach for swimming or snorkeling. The waters are usually rough and the waves crumbly because of an onshore break (no protecting reef) and northeasterly trade winds. A scenic lookout on the southern end, accessed off the highway, is a superb location for saluting the morning sunrise or spotting whales during winter. A level, paved trail follows the coastline north and is one of the most scenic coastal trails on the island for walking, running, and biking. Amenities: lifeguard; parking; showers; toilets. Best For: surfing; swimming; walking; sunrise.

After we get the new french doors in, I will have to re-sheetrock and re-paint. I have Tibetan Red on the walls, and want to change to Bangkok Rust. Will I need to primer first, or can I go from red to red without that extra step? What do you all suggest? BTW, Bangkok Rust looks like the color I was searching for a year ago and never found. Thanks to whoever discovered it!! I could HUG you! |

My only concern would be that putting red over red would show a deeper color then red over primer. I would prime it if it were mine. |
- Posted by moonshadow (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 08 at 14:25
I did a red over a prior burgundy red on a door and it took something insane like 5 coats. I didn't prime because the door was so heavy with paint already. Really needs to be pitched, we need a new door ;) If it were me, I'd prime, then paint. For more uniform coverage of the new color. Priming could well save you extra unneeded coats, too, because red is notorious for needing more coats than average for color. (Not saying it will reach 5 like my door, tho!). Gray primer is what is recommended beneath red paint over in Paint Forum here. |
- Posted by brunosonio (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 08 at 14:57
Red is one of the most difficult paints to work with. Apparently the molecules of the red compounds are larger, so you don't get as good coverage. Red paint also burnishes more easily, so if you wipe or rub the wall, it will usually leave a mark of some sort. We painted a deep red over white primer in our renovation, and it took 4 coats for me to get the correct shade. It wasn't until the 3rd that the color appeared...up to that point it kept coming out pink. I've always heard one should tint the primer pink with some of the red paint if you are putting down red. And when covering red paint to change to another color, you should use a gray tinted primer to help neutralize the red. Either way, you'll probably be happier with a layer of primer down before you changed red tones. You can always experiment if you still have some of your old red. Paint a 3 x 3 piece of primed wood or cardboard with your old red. Apply multiple coats until you get the exact same hue as your present wall. Then reprime half of it, let dry. Then paint the new red over all of it, apply as many coats as you need to get good coverage and see if you notice a difference between the primed and unprimed sections. This little exercise just might save you a lot of time, sweat, money, and frustration. |
We used primer tinted with charcoal color when we painted red over white. It only needed one coat after the primer. Will it work for red over red? I don't know. A good "to the trade" paint store should be able to tell you what to use. |
Hi there! I'm currently also painting Bangkok Rust over a previous layer of the "wrong" red. I got the Valspar Signature Satin, and it is covering beautifully in 2 coats! (Not all the reds have been like that, but the Bangkok Rust is doing a great job of covering.) I love this color also... Nice choice! Lis |
Could you show a pic so i can see what Bangkok red looks like. |
The reason red has poor coverage and requires multiple coats is because titanium white is what gives opacity to paint and the reds have the least amount of TW. Your base red will peek through and alter the color of your top coat red. Best bet is to prime, use a mid to deep gray for best results. |
Creekylis, you may be the dear who brought Bangkok Rust to my attention. If so, kudos to you! It is next to impossible to find a TRUE red; your hard work will pay off tenfold for many of us here. It's like finally finding that proverbial needle in the haystack and you did it. |
n2cookin... I know what you mean... I actually tried 8 or 9 reds before I found it. Ironically, Tibetan Red was the first sample I tried too. Everything seemed to be too purple once on the walls. I had posted about it here a week or so ago when I *FINALLY* found it. Bangkok Rust is really great, isn't it? I bought another gallon of it this morning! Lis |
- Posted by squirrelheaven (My Page) on Sun, Mar 9, 08 at 8:51
I would also worry about the red undercoat imparting its tone to the new paint and would prime. |
I painted a dining room SW cajun red, SW gave me so black tint to add to my Zinser primer. One coat of primer and I did 2 coats of red for a even look. I was surprised it covered so well. |
- Posted by mommyto4boys (My Page) on Sun, Mar 9, 08 at 14:16
We just finished our "red" dining room and I lOVE IT! We used Bm's moroccan red, seems darker in our space. We too had the store, white primer & they added as much black to it that would fit in the 5 gallon container of paint. It ended up actually a really neat gray, blue shade. The red went on well over that, looked good with one coat and perfect with two. |
mommyto4boys, please post pics of your moraccan red, I don't think I've seen that shade before. |

Narrow your search
The One E8 offers the high-end HTC experience in glossy colors and a plastic case, but without a unique selling point, there's little reason to buy this expensive device.
While its camera isn't best-in-class and Windows Phone's underwhelming app selection still stings, the elegant and sophisticated HTC One M8 is an enticing alternative to Nokia models.
Pricing not available
Unless you need a great deal on earbuds, there's no reason to buy the HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition.
Verizon subscribers can't beat the polished-metal HTC One Remix for value and style.
With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a more compact form. If style is of the utmost importance, it's worth checking out, but the Moto G is much better value.
Elegant style, raw power, and sophisticated features make the HTC One M8 an excellent smartphone choice for anyone but the most exacting photographer.
The HTC One M8 Google Play Edition will fulfill the dreams of Android fanatics seeking to pair top-notch hardware with a Nexus-style KitKat experience, so long as they're willing to pay a premium.
The HTC One Max has a display big-screened phone shoppers want, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 3's superior design and display make it a better buy.
Even with its scaled-down specs, the HTC One Mini is a go-to performer with style to match.
The pricey HTC One Google Play Edition's unique blend of premium design, components, and pure Jelly Bean software will only tempt true Android fanatics.

A question that pops up now and then is "What is the ROI of testing?" A Korean research paper from December 2011 tries to answer the question.
Tag Archives: testing
Reverse use of GIT bisect
Here is an interesting post on how to make reverse use of GIT bisect to find fix-introducing commits instead of fault-introducing commits. (The link is broken, but the original post can be found at archive.org.) What it boils down to is this:
Since git bisect was designed to find regressions, we need to flip the meanings of "bad" and "good" in order to use it to find a fix.
It seems to me that using this would be helpful for anyone wanting to use the regression test selection (RTS) method we introduced a few years back.
Check my publications page for more details.
Update 2014-01-01: this reverse use of GIT bisect has recently been covered on stackoverflow.
One-liner test cases
There are many kinds of testing. Detailled scripted manual test cases are quite popular but an article at testzonen.se might be an eye-opener if that is your favourite kind of test case. According to the article, these test cases are a waste of time and effort and demeaning to the testers. Instead they advocate a form of test cases which they call "one liners".
This is quite contrary to the trend towards automated testing which I have written about so often before… Or is it? I guess the main lessons to be learned here are:
- There are a lot of different test tools, methods, practices, conventions etc
- Each of them has different advantages and disadvantages, risks and rewards
- It is important to choose the right one for the right situation
- Which requires expertise
- But in the end, any testing is probably better than no testing

I find this rather exciting, generating / optimizing your whole test suite automatically.

In light of recent issues with the General Election which took place on 6th May we the undersigned demand the right to cast our votes again. We did not vote in order for the minority party (Liberal Democrats) to decide who was best to run our country. No one party had a majority and in this event we feel another election is in order. In many areas members of the general public were turned away from polling stations due to lack of staff and resources, wrong papers were issued and vote counts were late and in breech of the Electoral Renewel and Governance Act. Postal Votes were sent to the wrong locations causing delays and some members of the public were even given Ballot papers for the wrong area, but on being notified only 50% decided to cast their votes again. The country has become complacent on what is our constitutional rights. You you feel that you deserve a second chance to vote please sign this petition.

New York murder-rape suspect removed ankle monitor in 1 minute
Company that makes ankle monitor is in Colorado
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Federal authorities say a man charged with killing a woman and raping her 10-year-old daughter after a carjacking at a New York mall last week was able to remove and reassemble his court-ordered electronic monitoring bracelet in about a minute before carrying out the attacks.
Local media report that a U.S. probation officer says 29-year-old David Renz managed to cut the device from his ankle and put it back together so quickly that it didn't prompt the company in Colorado that makes the monitors to notify court officers in Syracuse.
The official says the officers had told the company not to notify them when the ankle monitor's signal was interrupted for a short period of time because the officers were getting tampering alerts every time the devices were knocked against bathtubs or walls.

weepers, a place where the angel of the Lord reproved the Israelites for entering into a league with the people of the land. This caused them bitterly to weep, and hence the name of the place ( Judges 2:1 Judges 2:5 ). It lay probably at the head of one of the valleys between Gilgal and Shiloh.

(the weepers ) a place on the west of Jordan, above Gilgal; so named from the weeping of Israel. ( Judges 2:1 Judges 2:6 )
bo'-kim (ha-bokhim):
A place on the mountain West of Gilgal said to have been so named (literally "the weepers") because Israel wept there at the remonstrance of the angel (Judges 2:1,5). No name resembling this has been discovered. Given on the occasion mentioned, it may not have endured. Many, following Septuagint, identify it with Bethel.

A search engine that indexes servers and other internet devices is
helping hackers to find industrial control systems that are vulnerable
to tampering, the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team has warned.
The year-old site known as Shodan makes it easy to locate
internet-facing SCADA, or supervisory control and data acquisition,
systems used to control equipment at gasoline refineries, power plants
and other industrial facilities. As white-hat hacker and Errata Security
CEO Robert Graham explains, the search engine can also be used to
identify systems with known vulnerabilities.
According to the Industrial Control Systems division of US CERT, that's
exactly what some people are doing to discover poorly configured SCADA

to larger wide area network (WAN) configurations connecting remote
facilities to central monitoring systems,=E2=80=9D the group wrote in an
advisory (PDF) published on Thursday. =E2=80=9CThese systems have been found to
be readily accessible from the internet and with tools, such as Shodan,

Hi all, I have four very overgrown camellia bushes along the side of my carport. They are easily 10' tall and haven't been pruned in many years, if ever. I would like to start air layering them, and need advice on selecting branches. Do branches on a particular part of the plant respond better to air layering? Any advice on how to air layer several branches and still have an aesthetically pleasing plant when I'm done? I'm hoping to air layer branches as thick as my finger. Are those too big? |

The only suggestion I have heard of regarding particular parts of the plant that respond better to air layering deals with removing 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the branch and to do this 1-2 feet of the tip of the limb. So the branches should not be too thick, definitely smaller than my fingers! :o) You could do air layering on branches that are pointing away from the main/front of the shrub. Most of my camellias are against the house so I would choose branches that point towards the house so their absence (when cut) is not obvious and the plant still looks fine when looked from the front. |

RE: Is DH courting disaster with this poison ivy? (Follow-Up #4)
posted by: rhizo_1 on 09.24.2006 at 12:02 pm in Organic Gardening Forum The recommendation for lime should not be followed unless you have a soil pH done. Also, altering the pH of a native soil may cause harm to the established plants and soil borne flora and fauna. Probably not the best method of control the poison ivy.
NOTES: Can lime be applied heavily in very localized areas, such as along the base of a chain link fence to prevent broad leaf vines from taking over?
